AI Agents in Cyber Space - LLMs Killed the Script Kiddie
Cybersecurity is a deeply technical, complex, and ever-evolving field where there is a struggle to defend against the constant barrage of adversarial attacks from around the world. With the aid of an LLM like ChatGPT, adversaries now need little actual cybersecurity knowledge to plan and conduct cyberattack campaigns. In this talk, Stephen will discuss how LLMs are changing the landscape of cybersecurity from both an offensive and defensive perspective. Stephen will show how their autonomous AI cyberagent can conduct reconnaissance, exploitation, and exfiltration actions on a real network environment with no human intervention. The goal of this talk is to bring awareness to the current and future cybersecurity capabilities of LLMs and harbor discussion of how to defend against such threats.
